Yeah I bet there is absolutely DNS in space, but that didn’t fit the joke, lol.

There I go getting the Narrator: It was treatment!

Haha yeah, I use outlook at work as a webpage in LibreWolf in Linux, so even with open stuff on my local hardware I can definitely still have outlook issues.

That’s impossible. They don’t even have that in space.

POWER OVERWHELMING

They are like REALLY good with computers too. The last one also did this cute hiss when a Tesla would drive past.

Bongs & Bastards

That just seems like semantics. It seems pretty fair to call country A bombing the shit out of country B and killing its leader an act of war.

I think a lot of my fellow Americans find it easy to not think of as a “war” because they see no risk of Iran attacking the continental US. They’ll just send their thoughts and prayers to whoever deployed over there catches the bullets.

It’s also very possible that the war is a roudabout consequence of the child rape, assuming Epstein was a Mossad honeypot and Israel really really wants the US to be blowing up Iran right now.

offering up his apartment to fellow protesters to use the bathroom or wash off pepper spray

Wow what a terrorist! When other citizens walk in with pepper spray on them he lets them wash it off?

I bet he and his co-conspirators were involved with the undcheduled shut down of the Orphan Crushing Machine too!

hopes that society will become more accepting of AI, or what Nadella describes as “cognitive amplifier tools.”

Ok well this is a simple train of cause and effect that even Mr Nadella should be able to understand.

Make an actual tool that is so damn good and so universally useful that early adopters who pay attention would consider calling it a “cognitive amplifier.”

Keep in mind that I have seen the term “second brain” used for note taking apps, usually easy to use and sync between devices. (I’m using AnyType free)

That is how poorly the “market” views your “tech demo with a price tag” product! It loses the brain title to a small collection of conveniently stored text files. Congratulations.

Ah yeah good edit, I wasn’t even considering that you could have meant it that way.

I decided to go look up the rules in order to contribute something more useful to this discussion, and it turns out that the mere presence of offspring does not disqualify one from the award!

Given their reasoning, I think Kirk would qualify. And given that his whole brand was about spreading stupid dangerous ideas to everybody’s kids including his own, and then he died in a spectacularly ironic and public way, I think he should actually win one!

This isn’t a movie plot we’re talking about here, nor is it some small far-away regional conflict that could never affect you.

I’m in the US but even if I was on the opposite side of the globe in a decent and closely allied country like Australia or NZ, I think I’d still be worried about these psychos being in control of the 800 pound gorilla.

That sentence from hbomberguy is a work of art.

I’m a parent too, and that’s exactly why I am glad his disgusting voice was silenced in the most public and ironic way possible.

That sounds pretty difficult to do in the modern world.

In contrast, I like the idea that before he croaks he could know that his name will be cursed and his grave pissed upon for generations.

American here, and I was a little boy scout like 30 years ago so I actually learned some of the rules of the US flag code.

Ever since then I have constantly noticed many of the people who most need to display their patriotism also being ignorant of the official rules for showing respect to their favorite flag.

And to be clear, I don’t care about the rules surrounding the flag. It’s just amusing and/or sad to see how superficial people can be and how little effort they put into learning about anything, much less something that is core to their identity. See also: rules in the bible.

Ah, yeah it’s affected everything across the board. But with the US context and you talking about giant vehicles, $60K vehicles, and 3 rows, I thought we were focused on the larger end of the population as a whole.

I bet the crash safety design of the current honda civic was definitely influenced by the truck regulations and that whole market driving the large end even larger.

Funny enough, I am eagerly awaiting the official announcement of the 2026 MX-5 of all cars.

Who would have thought that the Orphan Crushing Machine was just a stock Ford F-150 this whole time?

Is it really the safety standards? I thought it was a combination of all the stupid “truck” exceptions and our equally stupid culture where the iamverybadasses choose their 3-ton grocery and kindergarten shuttles out of fear because they want to “win” any collisions.
